Joseph, a high school senior, has never owned a phone. He feels that having access to this technology is increasingly important for him to communicate with his foster family, apply for jobs, and research his next steps in life. He also wants to stay in touch with his biological sisters, who currently live in a foster home several hours away. Having his own cell phone would allow him to hear from them more frequently and have experiences like a normal teen, such as texting friends, listening to music, and creating social media pages. He believes that a cell phone would not only provide the communication he desires with his siblings but also allow him more freedom to experience a normal teenager's life.
